Description:
Built in 1834 by Rev. Ephraim Spaulding and enlarged by his successor, Rev. Dwight Baldwin, this structure was home to American missionaries attempting to bring Christianity to the islands. Today, it displays artifacts from this era, including a host of furnishings original to the house. Adjacent to the house is the Masters' Reading Room, a building intended to distract sailors from the temptations of women and liquor. It is now home to the Lahaina Restoration Foundation and isn't available for touring. It is, however, a great place to pick up a guide to the town's historic sites.
